The boy that tackled her turned out to be the grandkid of an old village based doctor. Hikari had helped her walk over to his clinic after she got injured. The clinic was old, Raven could tell from a simple glance at the semi dirty walls and almost broken doors. All that was holding up the door to the room for patients was a small rusty hinge at the top. The lower one was already broken and door was almost hanging on air.
“Is this village full of werewolves?” she asked the old man as she sat down on a small stool beside a bed in the room. Raven tried to exert as little pressure as she possibly could on the slowly rusting stool. The shaking legs of the metal piece painfully told her it would give away if she pushed back further down into it by creating a creaking noise.
“No, we have normal people here too,” the man answered as he instructed his kid to go and bring a small kit from the cupboard. She expected it to contain some ointment plus bandage and stuff but it surprised her a little when she saw different kind of leaves in there. There were leaves of all sizes and shapes. “They are herbs,” he explained to the confused violet haired woman. “I collect them from the forest. They have some really effective medicinal plants there. Also, about the werewolves, only half of the village is their kind. The normal humans are hiding underground in a large room to escape from them. This only lasts a night, after all. However, if they aren’t stopped, after not finding anyone here, they will definitely move out to other villages. Right now, they cannot be beaten with reason. They must be stopped at all costs. I noticed the guild mark on you…you belong to Sabertooth, right? We implore you, please stop them. Don’t kill them! If possible, just knock them unconscious till the morning!” the man’s voice was shaking as he finished with a cough indicating his age restricted him from speaking so much.
“You are right. I’m Raven, the guild master of Sabertooth and with me is Hikari, one of our aces. We will stop them. But we have to figure out a way to trap the werewolves in this village. I don’t want them going out of the village bounds. Do you have any ideas?” she asked the smiling man.
“Yes, I do…”
